Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The bracha on rice according to the Chachamim is Mezonos before and Shehakol after.  The reason for this is because although rice is somewhat equated to the other grains in its sustenance abilities hence the Mezonos, nevertheless the bracha of Al Hamichya is reserved strictly for the Seven Species of Eretz Yisrael which is referred to in Al Hamichya.  But how do we understand the opinion of Rabban Gamliel that one recites Al Hamichya after rice, since it is not a species unique to Eretz Yisrael?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara says that outside of Eretz Yisrael one is meant to say ‘al haaretz v’al hapeiros’ which refers to the non Eretz Yisrael fruit which he is eating.  However since the meaning of ‘al haaretz v’al hapeiros’ means ‘the land which produces these fruits’ (see Rashi who alludes to this translation cited on 49a) and the land presumably is referring back to Eretz Yisrael mentioned earlier in the bracha (al eretz chemda…) how can this phrase relate to the non Eretz Yisrael fruit?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

If one decides he needs black clothing during Shabbos, why would this invalidate his Eruv (according to Beis Shamai) – since the Eruv was valid at the time it took effect at the onset of Shabbos?
